Answer to Question 1

B
The cause or related to factor in this case is the patient's lack of oral intake due to lack of appropriate food choices. The patient's religious preferences, race, and ethnicity did not cause his weight loss. Ultimately, the lack of food choices and his decreased intake caused him to lose weight. Weight loss is a sign of imbalanced nutrition, not a cause. The weight loss would be noticed during the assessment and would lead to the nursing diagnosis, not in reverse order.

Answer to Question 2

D

Feedback
A When delegated by another UCP is not an appropriate action.
B When asked by the patient is not an appropriate action.
C When they perform tasks with another UCP is not an appropriate action.
D An institution's policies, procedures, and job descriptions for UCPs provide specific guidelines regarding which tasks or activities can be delegated. UCPs are not allowed to perform acts authorized for RNs unless these tasks have been properly delegated by an RN, and only if they are within the UCP's job description and employer policy.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
